Richard M. Daley Won’t Run for Re-Election as Mayor of Chicago

NPR:

Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley dropped something of a political bombshell Tuesday announcing he won’t run for re-election next year for personal reasons.

Daley has been mayor since 1989 and could probably have been mayor for life like his father, the legendary Richard J. Daley who actually died at his desk in City Hall.

Two words for you: Mayor Blagojevich.
